Ive got a home-built system but I really don't know much about how any one component directly effects video editing. Right now I can't do much at all and I'd really like to get started.
I have a 945 mhz processor
704 megs of RAM
64 megs of shared video memory (I fried a 128meg card while installing it which also killed my good MOBO)
Ive got a good case, good optical drives, and a new 450 watt power supply so I don't want to sink money into an all-new system and replace parts I don't need to replace. Just want to replace the components above. And the MOBO too I assume. Since it carries a 945mhz chip I assume it's pretty dated (I didnt buy it, my brother gave it to me to replace the one I fried).
long story short...(too late)...I want to eventually replace all of those parts but I would like to put my money where it'll make the most difference first.
So what is it that causes my editor (Vegas 6) to run like crap and render things slowly? Is it my RAM or my processor or my video memory?
thanks to anyone who can advise me in this. =^_^=
